Dayton Wire Wheel Celebrates 90th Anniversary
Ninety years ago, the Professional Golfers Association, the Boy Scouts of America and the Women’s International Bowling Congress were formed. It was the birth year of Jackie Gleason, Dinah Shore, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Walter Cronkite, Kirk Douglas, Betty Grabel and Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity.
1916 was also the year that Dayton Wire Wheel was established in Dayton, Ohio and would become the premier designer and manufacturer of wire wheels for the next ninety years and beyond.
From the beginning, Dayton Wire Wheel set a high quality standard for the automotive industry. The Wright Brothers depended on Dayton Wire Wheel, Henry Ford chose Daytons, as did Charles Lindburgh for the Spirit of St. Louis. Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg rode on Daytons, along with nearly thirty other makes. Dayton Wire Wheels were also put to the test for thirty years of racing in the Indianapolis 500. Today, this heritage of quality and durability still lives in every wire wheel that leaves the plant in Dayton, Ohio.
British and Italian sports car owners choose Daytons and the Lowrider crowd hops and dances on Daytons. Street rod designers and builders have discovered Daytons and Harley-Davidson owners ride on American Wire Wheels made by Dayton.
Over the years, Dayton Wire Wheels have evolved through the incorporation of new technology and superior materials, changing with the times without compromising the classic styling. As a result, today’s Dayton Wire Wheel is not only distinctive and prestigious, but contemporary.
